GARDENING in FLORIDA - Drought Tolerant Plants

In this episode of Gardening in Florida, Theresa Badurek shares tips on selecting and caring for drought tolerant plants with Lunchtime Conversation host Nanette Wiser about how drought tolerant plants are food for your Florida native garden. We learn about native plants that look good, from Christmas palms to potted succulents that move with the sun. Petunias, pansies and snap dragons in small pots can add whimsy and color.  For drought-tolerant plants, look to IFAS-recommended Florida natives like Lantana, Firebush, Muhly Grass, Saw Palmetto, and Beach Sunflower, alongside Mediterranean favorites such as Rosemary and Lavender, plus succulents like Aloe and Agave for water-wise, beautiful landscapes that thrive with less water and support local ecosystems.
